 Looks like that section and the wskbd.4 manpage should be updated. The
 "pl" encoding is not present in the kernel. Neither are these: cz, ru, ua.
 The "fi" (Finnish) encoding isn't present either, but, setting it works
 because "sv" and "fi" share the same numeric value:

 ```
 $ egrep 'KB_(FI|SV)' /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h
 action(KB_FI,   0,      0x0900, "fi",   ,       "Finnish")              \
 action(KB_SV,   0,      0x0900, "sv",   ,       "Swedish")              \
 $
 ```

 To get a "pl" encoding, try one of the keymap files present in

 /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/

 In /etc/wscons.conf, add a line like:

 mapfile /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/pckbd.pl.iso8859-2

 If you have a USB keyboard, please try this keymap file
 (ukbd.pl.iso8859-2):

 ```
 # $Id$
 #
 # This is a Polish QWERTY keymap for USB keyboards.
 # Base keycode = US (sys/dev/hid/hidkbdmap.c)

 keycode 4=a A plusminus exclamdown
 keycode 6=c C ae AE
 keycode 8=e E ecircumflex Ecircumflex
 keycode 15=l L threesuperior sterling
 keycode 17=n N ntilde Ntilde
 keycode 18=o O oacute Oacute
 keycode 22=s S paragraph brokenbar
 keycode 27=x X onequarter notsign
 keycode 29=z Z questiondown macron
 keycode 230=Mode_switch Multi_key
 ```

 If you have both PS/2 and USB keyboards, then you'll have to load
 the correct keymap for each keyboard. Use something like this in
 /etc/rc.local:

 ```
 mapkey() {
  	dev=$1
  	file=$2
  	while read line
  	do	echo "$line" | grep -Eq '^[[:blank:]]*(#|$)' ||
  		    wsconsctl -f /dev/"$dev" -w map+="$line"
  	done < "$file"
 }
 mapkey wskbd0 /etc/key-ps2.txt >/dev/null && echo -n ' wskbd0'
 mapkey wskbd1 /etc/key-usb.txt >/dev/null && echo -n ' wskbd1'
 unset -f mapkey
 ```

 Right now there's no simple method to apply a per-keyboard mapfile
 in /etc/rc.conf
